Proteins of the armadillo repeat gene family play important roles in plant pathogen
response. Here, 169 armadillo (ARM) genes were identified in upland cotton (Gossypium …

Only a few Armadillo (ARM) repeat proteins have been characterized in plants where they
appear to have diverse functions, including the regulation of defence responses. In this …

Background Verticillium dahliae is a phytopathogenic fungal pathogen that causes vascular
wilt diseases responsible for considerable decreases in cotton yields. The complex …

Verticillium wilt is a soil-borne disease that can cause devastating losses in cotton
production. Because there is no effective chemical means to combat the disease, the only …

Alternative splicing (AS) of pre‐mRNAs increases the diversity of transcriptome and
proteome and plays fundamental roles in plant development and stress responses …

Background The cotton industry suffers significant yield losses annually due to Verticillium
wilt, which is considered the most destructive disease affecting the crop. However, the …

Abstract Key message GhSCL13-2A, a member of the PAT1 subfamily in the GRAS family,
positively regulates cotton resistance to Verticillium dahliae by mediating the jasmonic acid …

Plants have evolved effective mechanisms to protect themselves against multiple stresses,
and employ jasmonates (JAs) as vital defence signals to defend against pathogen infection …

The soil-born vascular disease Verticillium wilt, which is caused by fungal pathogen
Verticillium dahliae, is a devastating disease of cotton worldwide. In the last decade, a large …

Receptor‐like kinases (RLK s) are important components of plant innate immunity. Although
recent studies have revealed that the RLK suppressor of BIR 1‐1 (SOBIR 1) can interact with …
